Secret World Legends expands into a new region: Kaidan, Tokyo. Also known as Ground Zero, the events that took place here are what set everything you know into motion. Once you have finished the story up past “What was Missed” (or “Whispering Tide”), your faction handler assigns you to visit the Council of Venice Headquarters to earn field agent certification.

New Elite difficulties of Scenarios have been added.

A new weapon skin category has been added to the Dressing Room, allowing for collecting and customization of weapon visuals. Whenever you collect a weapon with a unique appearance, or “skin”, you learn that skin. Skins for all weapons you currently possess in your inventory at the time of this update will be added to your dressing room.

The lore and achievements menu will now open to the last found lore or last earned achievement.

The Hardened Blade passive for Swallow Cut now has a 30% chance to deal bonus damage without consuming a Spirit Blade charge.

The Rhythmic Blade weapon has been changed to have a chance to grant additional charges of Spirit Blade damage whenever you gain charges of Spirit Blade damage. The amount gained and the chance to gain them scale with the amount of charges added. For example, when adding 1 charge, there is a 31% chance to gain 1 additional charge. When adding 6 charges, you always gain 2 additional charges.

Fixed an issue where NPCs who were immune to crowd control would gain diminishing returns even when not affected by the crowd control effect.

The default duration of crowd control effects applied to crowd control immune enemies is reduced by 50% in light of the above change.

DUNGEONS

Players must now wait 5 minutes before any vote kick or vote to retreat can be initiated in dungeons or scenarios. This does not apply to private teams.

Increased the average XP rewards for opening chests in Elite 1-10 dungeons and scenarios. In addition, the minimum amount of XP that can be awarded from a dungeon or scenario chest in a higher difficulty is now larger than the largest amount you could get from a lower difficulty dungeon. For example, the largest amount of XP that can be gained from a boss chest in an Elite 4 dungeon is 1,700 while the lowest amount of XP in an Elite 5 dungeon is 2,000.

Adjusted XP rewards in Story Mode dungeons similarly, however dungeons which are close in level range have overlap on the XP values per chest.
